so...where are you ?
i have no idea where i am...
this plan you think is good ?
you think it creates private sector jobs, who, are the ones who employ the worker ?
Do you think the government will build new schools, roads and bridges? Nah....private employers will.
does this tax break savings also benefit the government employee ?...
So I guess we can assume you've joined the "All government employees are scum" bandwagon, huh? Be sure to relay that message to the next soldier you meet on the street.

Of course! Yet in 2003 Dubya cut 27% of highway construction funds from the budget to pay for a couple of wars (in conjunction with the money he borrowed from China) and continued to rape highway and bridge construction funds for the remainder of his administration. He continued cutting the budget year after year, making thousands of roads and bridges across the country unsafe:

point:President Obama will promote his jobs bill at a bridge important to House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) district next week, the White House announced Thursday.
The White House said that Obama would visit the Brent Spence Bridge in Ohio on Sept. 22 in order to highlight the “urgent need” for infrastructure improvements, one of the ideas included in his bill.
Although the bridge is located very near Boehner’s district, Obama has not spoken to the Speaker since he gave his speech introducing the bill to a joint session of Congress last week, and White House press secretary Jay Carney did not know Thursday whether Boehner had been notified.
Carney said the bridge was chosen because it is “relatively easy to get to from Washington.”
The 48-year-old bridge, which spans the Ohio River between Ohio and Kentucky, has been under review by transportation officials in the two states for massive repair or replacement. The double-decker inter-state bridge has been described as “functionally obsolete.”
